Chicago, IL
Chicago, IL offers a mix of neighborhood livability, local employment centers, and day-to-day amenities that support long-term housing demand. The area benefits from access to major commuter routes, schools, and retail services, while continuing to attract residents looking for affordability and convenience. As population and job activity remain steady across the broader region, rental demand is generally supported by both local households and in-migration trends.
Thank you for raising this proposal. I support transparent accounting, but I recommend voting NO on distributing 100% of the property’s funds at this time.
Approximately $160,000 is already held in the LLC account. The issue is therefore not whether the funds have been transferred to the LLC, but whether distributing all of them immediately is prudent given the property’s upcoming obligations.
The property is approaching an eviction and sheriff lockout. After possession is recovered, 7542 Floor 3 will require turnover and likely rehabilitation before it can generate rental income again. Work is also anticipated for 7542 Floor 2 in preparation for an MLS rental listing and/or a potential sale of the building. Distributing the entire balance now would leave the LLC without sufficient working capital to restore, operate, and protect the property.
The property’s financial records have also been available to co-owners. The general ledger and cash-flow statement are maintained in Dropbox and updated at least weekly. These records provide transaction-level visibility into receipts, interest, taxes, insurance, repairs, rehabilitation costs, and other property expenses.
The current insurance-proceeds reconciliation, based on the ledger through August 18, 2026, is:
Gross insurance proceeds received: $275,714.75.
Pre-existing Colfax obligations settled before the reserve was established: $52,741.93, consisting of $37,772.42 in property operating and management obligations, $12,091.67 in property taxes, and $2,877.84 in insurance premiums and reinstatement costs.
Net insurance proceeds placed into the property reserve: $222,972.82.
Subsequent Colfax property outlays: $58,594.36, consisting of $42,849.56 for rehabilitation, capital improvements, repairs, labor, and materials; $5,266.66 for insurance; $3,664.86 for property taxes; $4,757.94 for eviction, legal, and registration costs; and $2,055.34 for utilities, cleaning, pest control, grounds, other operating costs, and bank fees.
Rent and account interest credited back against those outlays: $12,898.29.
Governance-authorized Colfax token repurchase and burn: $17,769.82.
Remaining property funds: approximately $159,506.93, rounded to $160,000.
Because cash is fungible, this is a ledger-based sources-and-uses reconciliation rather than a claim that individual insurance dollars can be traced to a particular invoice. The figures reconcile as follows: $222,972.82 - $58,594.36 + $12,898.29 - $17,769.82 = $159,506.93.
I support adding a concise accounting summary to the property dashboard showing:
The approximately $160,000 currently in the LLC account.
Interest or yield credited to the account.
Itemized deductions and property expenditures.
Known outstanding obligations.
The proposed rehabilitation and turnover reserve.
Any unrestricted surplus remaining after those needs are funded.
If Option 1 is approved, the following protections must apply before any distribution:
A complete distribution may create a short-term payout, but it would materially increase the risk of another capital call, delayed rehabilitation, continued vacancy, and deterioration in the property’s value. The responsible course is to preserve adequate reserves, complete the eviction and turnover, restore the units to income-producing condition, and consider distributing only the genuine surplus afterward.
Governance Results for 7542 & 7656 S Colfax Ave:
The Governance Voting results are back for the owner-proposed vote.
The leading vote is:
YES — Disburse all remaining insurance funds to token holders as rental distributions starting on the next payout day, accompanied by a full accounting statement.

This vote will not pass because it did not reach at Supermajority of 60%+.

Based on the Zillow Value Home Index (ZHVI) Single Family Homes Time Series, single family homes appreciated an average of 11% per year over the last 20 years (March 31, 2003 - March 31, 2023).
This figure reflects a national benchmark for single family homes in the 35th to 65th home-price percentile range and may not represent this specific property's zip code. Real-world returns can also vary based on investment costs, hold period, and leverage.
Use the returns calculator below to explore how different assumptions can impact your hypothetical investment outcome.
Adjust the assumptions below to model how this property could grow over 7 years.

This calculator is for illustrative purposes only and displays a range of hypothetical investment outcomes based on the inputs you provide. Actual investment outcomes depend on many factors and cannot be determined before the investment period ends. Historical performance is not indicative of future results.
The calculations assume a 7-year hold period and an average annual net operating income increase of 3%. The 10- and 20-year averages are based on data from the ZHVI Single Family Homes Time Series and reflect averages for single-family homes in the 35th to 65th percentile by home price.
